To disable Error reporting
control panel >adminastritive tools services
double click "error reporting" - mark "disable"
ok

as for the usb popup - never experienced nor heard of it - this is not normal

What have you got plugged into the usb port(s)?

Whatever it is, it sounds like somethings polling the usb connection on a regular basis and then going back into standby mode until the next time.

It also has to be a usb 2 device plugged into a usb 1 port for that tooltip to appear.

Quick 'n dirty way out is to nip down the shops and buy yourself a cheap PCI usb 2 card and plug the usb 2 device(s) into that instead.

Yep, just as I suspected. You have fast USB 2.0 devices plugged into slow USB 1.1 ports.
I get the exact same things popping up when I plug my USB 2.0 flash drive into my PC.

So I've already given you the solution...

nip down the shops and buy yourself a cheap PCI usb 2 card and plug the usb 2 device(s) into that instead.
